Incident #1001200
Orofino, Clearwater Cty, Idaho
Jun 1973
Account
Ron Harvey, at about 4 p.m., saw a creature similar to the one he saw the previous fall, but smaller, farther up the same ridge. It seemed to lean forward and put its whole body into each step as it climbed the ridge and went out of sight. Estimated 6 feet tall, light coloured, hair not as thick. Gebhart and Krantz there the next day, but ground too hard to show tracks.
